Summary
The Supreme Court just delivered a landmark ruling affirming birthright citizenship for all children born in the U.S., overturning Trump’s controversial executive order. In a 6-3 decision led by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court reaffirmed the Fourteenth Amendment’s clear language — that anyone born on American soil is a citizen — citing the historic 1901 Wong Kim Ark case. Even during wartime, like WWII, children of detained immigrants were still granted citizenship simply by birth. The ACLU’s argument that children shouldn’t be penalized for their parents’ status was central to the ruling. Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito dissented, but the majority’s decision solidifies a foundational principle of American identity: where you’re born matters more than who your parents are.
